Table of Contents

The following discussion is based on our consolidated financial statements and should be read in conjunction with those statements. We evaluate the results of our Property-Casualty, Life/Health insurance, Banking and Asset Management segments using a financial performance measure we refer to herein as “operating profit”. We define our segment operating profit as earnings from ordinary activities before taxation, excluding, as applicable for each respective segment, either all or some of the following items: net capital gains and impairments on investments, net trading income, intra-Allianz Group dividends and profit transfer, interest expense on external debt, restructuring charges, other non-operating income/(expense), acquisition-related expenses and amortization of goodwill.

 

While these excluded items are significant components in understanding and assessing our consolidated financial performance, we believe that the presentation of operating results enhances the understanding and comparability of the performance of our operating segments by highlighting net income attributable to ongoing segment operations and the underlying profitability of our businesses. For example, we believe that trends in the underlying profitability of our segments can be more clearly identified without the fluctuating effects of the realized capital gains and losses or impairments on investment securities, as these are largely dependent on market cycles or issuer specific events over which we have little or no control, and can and do vary, sometimes materially, across periods. Further, the timing of sales that would result in such gains or losses is largely at our discretion. Operating profit is not a substitute for earnings from ordinary activities before taxation or net income as determined in accordance with IFRS. Our definition of operating profit may differ from similar measures used by other companies, and may change over time. For further information on operating profit, as well as the particular reconciling items between operating profit and net income, see Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements.

 

In the following discussion, we analyze the Allianz Group’s consolidated results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 as compared to September 30, 2004, respectively, using operating profit and net income as the relevant performance measures, as permitted under IFRS and as presented in our German Annual Report for the year 2004.

 

We further believe that an understanding of our revenue performance is enhanced when the effects of foreign currency translations and acquisitions and disposals (or “changes in scope of consolidation”) are excluded. Accordingly, in addition to presenting “nominal growth”, “internal growth”, which excludes the effects from foreign currency translation and changes in scope of consolidation, is also provided.

 

The following tables set forth the reconciliation of nominal revenue growth to internal revenue growth for each of our segments and the Allianz Group as a whole for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005, as compared to September 30, 2004, respectively.

Allianz Group’s Consolidated Results of Operations

 

Revenues

 

Led by our Life/Health and Asset Management operations, our total revenues in 3Q and for the first nine months of 2005 increased by 2.8% to € 23.8 billion and 4.3% to € 75.7 billion, respectively, compared to the corresponding prior year periods. Internal growth, which excludes the effects from foreign currency translation and changes in scope of consolidation, was 2.8% in 3Q (first nine months of 2005: 5.2%).

 

Property-Casualty With the focus on maintaining and strengthening operating profitability, our gross premiums written were successful in achieving internal growth of 2.6% in 3Q despite selective underwriting and increasing pricing pressure in some markets. For the first nine months of 2005, internal growth reached 1.9%. Gross premiums written amounted to € 10.5 billion and € 34.4 billion in 3Q and for the first nine months of 2005, respectively.

 

Life/Health Our Life/Health segment’s statutory premiums increased by 2.5% to € 11.1 billion in 3Q from continued strong growth in our core European markets, particularly in Italy, France and Germany, where growth rates of greater than 10% were achieved. Statutory premiums at Allianz Life of North America (or “Allianz Life”) declined in 3Q, as expected, due to a very successful, albeit limited, sales promotion which caused an extraordinary surge in statutory premiums in the third quarter of last year. Despite the extraordinary surge in statutory premiums at Allianz Life in 3Q 2004, for the first nine months of 2005, statutory premiums at Allianz Life were above that of 2004 for the same period, and together with growth rates exceeding 10% in our core European markets, helped excel statutory premiums to € 34.9 billion, a market increase of 9.4% over the prior year period. Internal growth of statutory premiums in 3Q and fort he first nine months of 2005 amounted to 1.5% and 9.7%, respectively, compared to the corresponding prior year periods. Overall, the increase in statutory premiums stemmed principally from investment-oriented products.

 

Banking In 3Q, operating revenues were stabilized at € 1.5 billion. Offsetting the strong development within our strategic divisions at Dresdner Bank was the close of our Institutional Restructuring Unit (or “IRU”) after the division’s completion of the sale of its non-strategic portfolios, as well as negative impacts from IAS 39. Operating revenues for the first nine months of 2005 decreased by 6.8% to € 4.6 billion. In addition to the reductions of our non-strategic IRU portfolios, this decline was principally driven by the challenging capital market conditions in April and May, as with some of the other investment banks, negatively affecting our net trading income at Dresdner Kleinwort Wasserstein (or “DrKW”).

 

Asset Management Our Asset Management segment achieved strong net inflows of third-party assets of € 48 billion in the first nine months of 2005, particularly to our fixed income business in the United States and Germany. Total third-party assets at September 30, 2005, amounted to € 711 billion, an increase of 21.5% from December 31, 2004. These positive developments led to significant operating revenue growth of 25.5% in 3Q compared to the prior year period (first nine months of 2005: 16.2%). Internal growth of our operating revenues was comparable at 23.5% for 3Q (first nine months of 2005: 17.0%).

 

Operating Profit

 

For the first nine months of 2005, our operating profit increased by 16.2% over the prior year period to € 5.9 billion, thereby demonstrating our further commitment to continued operational discipline. In 3Q, whereas operating profit across all other segments improved strongly, operating profit of our Property-Casualty operations was negatively impacted by various natural catastrophes, which significantly affected the insurance and reinsurance markets as a whole. Our losses, net of reinsurance, from theses natural catastrophes approximated € 753 million. As a result of these developments, overall, our operating profit amounted to € 1.7 billion in 3Q, a decrease of 7.8% compared to 3Q 2004.

Property-Casualty Consistent with a large number of other insurance and reinsurance companies, our combined ratio in 3Q was negatively affected by various natural catastrophes, including hurricanes “Katrina” and “Rita” in the United States, and floods in Central Europe. Despite the positive claims development experienced by our German property-casualty operations, namely by “Sachgruppe Deutschland” and by our Credit Insurance speciality line, the combined effects of losses, net of reinsurance, from natural catastrophes in the United States (€ 620 million) and Central Europe (€ 58 million), caused our loss ratio to deteriorate by 6.5 percentage points compared to 3Q 2004 to 72.9%, contributing to a combined ratio of 97.0% in 3Q, a 6.1 percentage point deterioration compared to 3Q 2004. However, notwithstanding this development, our combined ratio for the first nine months of 2005 improved by 20 basis points over the prior year period to 93.0%, largely due to positive claims development in Germany, excluding the worldwide natural catastrophes, as well as continued adherence to our disciplined underwriting and pricing practices, thereby maintaining progress towards achieving our combined ratio target for fiscal year 2005. Commensurate with these developments, in 3Q, operating profit decreased by 38.8% to € 696 million, whereas operating profit for the first nine months of 2005 increased by 6.6% to € 3.1 billion, compared to the corresponding prior year period.

 

Life/Health In 3Q, operating profit reached € 478 million, a significant strengthening of 26.5% over the prior year period. A decline within our net acquisition costs and administrative expenses of € 128 million, as well as growth within our current income from investments and net trading income of € 167 million and € 94 million, respectively, contributed in large part to our improved operating profit. Net acquisition costs and administrative expenses decreased predominantly due to a decline in costs at Allianz Life due to the novation of a reinsurance contract in 3Q 2004 as well as sales promotion measures in the prior year period, helping to drive down our statutory expense ratio by 1.6 percentage points to 8.5% in 3Q. Current investment income and net trading income were principally driven by significant inflows of funds brought about by new business underwritten at Allianz Life and Allianz Leben in the prior quarters, and changes in fair values of freestanding derivatives in connection with equity-indexed annuities sold by Allianz Life, respectively. For the first nine months of 2005, operating profit also benefited from increased business volume as well as our improved statutory expense ratio and rose significantly by 22.4% over the prior year period to € 1.3 billion. After consecutively increasing operating profit levels in 2005, we are well on track to achieving our 2005 target.

 

Banking In 3Q, operating profit increased by 83.8% over the prior year period to € 250 million. This development was principally due to a substantial decline of net loan loss provisions, resulting in a net release of € 129 million (3Q 2004: net charge of € 54 million), driven predominantly by the planned reductions in our non-strategic portfolios within our IRU division, which closed in 3Q ahead of plan. Partially offsetting was an increase of administrative expenses by 6.3% primarily attributable to increased performance linked compensation at DrKW, following the division’s strong operating revenues in 3Q. For the first nine months of 2005, we achieved an operating profit of € 759 million, an increase of 33.9% over the prior year period, despite the decline in operating revenues. In addition to a net release of loan loss provisions of € 88 million (9M 2004: net charge of € 271 million), operating profit growth stemmed from reduced administrative expenses on a year-to-date basis, including a positive one-off effect from releases of provisions for employment anniversary payments at Dresdner Bank in 2Q.

 

Asset Management We succeeded in reducing our cost-income ratio for the third consecutive quarter to 57.8% in 3Q, a marked improvement of 3.7 percentage points over the prior year period. This was due in large part to strict cost management resulting in an under-proportionate increase in operating expenses compared to that of our operating revenues. These positive developments led to an operating profit of € 299 million in 3Q, a 37.8% growth over 3Q 2004, the third consecutive quarter of greater than 20% growth. For the first nine months of 2005, operating profit increased by 35.8% over the prior year period to € 785 million. These achievements demonstrate our strong market position and attest to our superior performance as more than 85% of the third-party assets we manage outperformed their respective benchmarks in the first nine months of 2005.

Net Income

 

The continued strengthening of our earnings was also reflected in our consolidated net income, which increased by 69.7% to € 794 million, compared with the prior year period (first nine months of 2005: 78.1% increase to € 3.5 billion), inclusive of the positive impact brought about by the discontinuance of amortization of goodwill due to a change in accounting under IFRS (3Q 2004: € 297 million and first nine months of 2004: € 885 million), as well as the retrospective application of new accounting standards further discussed below. Net capital gains and impairments, inclusive non-operating net trading income, after policyholders’ participation, increased by € 247 million to € 371 million in 3Q over the prior year period. This increase was mainly attributable to significantly decreased net impairments compared to the prior year period. Whereas, no significant restructuring charges occured both in 3Q 2005 and 3Q 2004, our net income for the first nine months benefited from a decline of 36.1% in restructuring charges to € 85 million due primarily to the absence of significant restructuring charges at Dresdner Bank. Due to the changes in fair value of derivatives associated with our “All-in-one” capital market transactions, a pre-tax charge to earnings of € 52 million was incurred in 3Q. However, economically, these negative fair value changes are compensated by the increased market prices of respective shares of DAX companies we own, albeit the development of these available-for-sale securities is reflected in unrealized gains and losses within shareholders’ equity, and not net income. These developments resulted in earnings from ordinary activities before taxes and minorities of € 1.7 billion in 3Q, a significant improvement of 39.4% over the prior year period, including the discontinuance of goodwill amortization (3Q 2004: € 297 million). For the first nine months of 2005, earnings from ordinary activities rose by 48.2% to € 6.1 billion over the first nine months of 2004, which included goodwill amortization of 885 million. Our consolidated tax expense increased by 6.6% to € 530 million in 3Q compared to the prior year period, representing an overall effective income tax rate of 31.4% in 3Q (3Q 2004: 41.5%). Our effective tax rate benefited from tax free income at various operating entities including Allianz Leben, as well as the write-down of deferred tax assets at Allianz Life Insurance Company in Korea in 3Q 2004. Taxes for the first nine months of 2005 amounted to € 1.5 billion, an increase of 24.3% over the prior year period, representing an overall effective tax rate of 25.0% (first nine months of 2004: 29.8%). Minority interests in earnings increased by 49.1% to € 334 million in 3Q compared to the prior year period primarily due to increased earnings at our Italian and French Life/Health operating entities (first nine months of 2005: increase by 15.4% to € 1.0 billion).

Allianz Group’s Consolidated Assets, Liabilities and Shareholders’ Equity

 

In the nine months ended September 30, 2005, our shareholders’ equity increased by 28.9% to € 48.6 billion at September 30, 2005 (December 31, 2004: € 37.7 billion), further strengthening our capital base. This increase resulted primarily from our strong net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, growth in unrealized gains on investments stemming from favorable equity market conditions and lower interest rates in Europe and reduced negative foreign currency translation effects from the strengthening of the U.S. dollar against the Euro. Additionally, the sale of treasury shares (€ 1.6 billion) in connection with our “All-in-One” capital market transaction in January and February 2005 and the issuance of warrants on Allianz AG shares, of which 9 million were exercised in 3Q 2005 generating consideration of € 828 million, increased our shareholders’ equity, respectively.

In connection with the purchase of the remaining Riunione Adriatica di Sicurtà S.p.A. minority interest in 3Q 2005 our shareholders’ equity also increased by € 1.1 billion through the issuance of shares out of authorized capital without pre-emptive rights. See “– Allianz-RAS Merger/European Company (SE)” for further information on the merger of Reunione Adriatica di Sicurtà S.p.A. into Allianz AG.

In the nine months ended September 30, 2005, total assets and liabilities decreased by € 1.1 billion (0.1%) and € 12.0 billion (1.3%), respectively, from December 31, 2004. Increases were primarily experienced within cash and cash equivalents, investments, and reserves for insurance and investment contracts, where balances rose by € 8.5 billion (54.2%), € 27.9 billion (11.2%) and € 30.1 billion (9.2%), respectively. The growth in reserves for insurance and investment contracts was driven predominantly by aggregate policy reserves at € 14.0 billion (6.1%) and reserves for premium refunds at € 7.5 billion (35.3%). These increases were offset by declines predominantly in loans and advances to banks of € 31.5 billion (17.3%) as well as liabilities to banks of € 43.3 billion (22.7%), primarily reflecting reduced volumes of repurchase and reverse repurchase operations at Dresdner Bank. Additionally, investments in associated enterprises and joint ventures also declined by € 2.3 billion (39.7%). See “– Group Asset Allocation” for, among others, further information on our investments and investments in associated enterprises and joint ventures.

*) Beginning January 1, 2005, under IFRS, various existing accounting standards changed and additional new accounting standards became effective, both of which impacted the Allianz Group’s consolidated financial statements prospectively, and to a certain extent, retrospectively, requiring restatement. For further information concerning the impact of these accounting standards, see Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements.

 

Group Asset Allocation

 

Of the total group’s own investments, the majority are invested in fixed income securities and, to a lesser extent, equities. We limit our fixed income investment risk by setting high requirements on the creditworthiness of our debtors and by spreading the risk. At September 30, 2005, approximately 94% of the fixed income investments of the insurance companies of the Allianz Group have an investment grade rating. More than 88% are distributed over obligors that have been assigned at least an “A” rating by Standard & Poor’s.

 

At September 30, 2005, group’s own investments amounted to € 471.2 billion, an increase of 5.9% compared to December 31, 2004. This increase was predominantly due to higher balances at our fixed income and equity available-for-sale securities, stemming predominantly from favorable capital market conditions, lower interest rates in Europe, and strong growth in sales of our life operations. Growth of our group’s own investments was partially offset by decreased financial assets held for trading, net, primarily reflecting a reduced volume of Dresdner Bank’s fixed income trading portfolio. Further, investments in associated enterprises and joint ventures, which are classified as equity investments within group’s own investments, decreased principally as a result of sales of our shareholdings in MAN AG and Gecina S.A. in 1Q and Bilfinger Berger AG in 2Q.

Allianz-RAS Merger / European Company (SE)

 

At September 30, 2005, the Allianz Group owned 55.4% of the total share capital of Riunione Adriatica di Sicurtà S.p.A. (or “RAS”, and taken together with its subsidiaries, the “RAS Group”) in Italy, which offers insurance and other financial services to more than 5 million clients in Italy and other European countries. On October 13, 2005, Consob, the Italian financial markets authority, approved Allianz AG’s tender offer document relating to the voluntary offer to purchase all ordinary and savings shares, it does not already own, of RAS. The offer period began on October 20. The acceptance period will close on November 23 and the payment date is expected for November 30, 2005.

 

The offer represents a preparatory step of a broad repositioning plan for the Allianz Group and its Italian operations, the general terms of which were approved by the boards of Allianz AG and RAS. The cornerstone of this repositioning plan is the ultimate merger of RAS into Allianz AG, with Allianz AG converting into a European Company (Societas Europaea or “SE”). Additionally, RAS will contribute its insurance and other financial services business with the exception of the participation in certain foreign subsidiaries to a newly incorporated, wholly owned Italian subsidiary that will continue the corporate name “RAS S.p.A.”.

 

The merger of RAS into Allianz AG will make it possible to combine the Allianz Group’s activities in Italy. Italy, where, in the first nine months of 2005, the Allianz Group generated € 3.7 billion in gross premiums written and € 6.9 billion in statutory premiums from property-casualty and life/health insurance operations, respectively, is the Allianz Group’s second most important European insurance market after Germany. The Allianz Group is represented in Italy by RAS and Lloyd Adriatico, which we refer to together with our other Italian subsidiaries as our “Italian Subsidiaries”. Taken together, our Italian Subsidiaries are the third-largest property-casualty and second-largest life insurer in the Italian market, based on gross premiums written and statutory premiums, respectively, in 2004. By fully integrating RAS, Allianz AG expects to increase profitability and customer service.

 

Based on full acceptance of the voluntary tender offer, the cost of the entire transaction will be approximately € 5.7 billion. However, this amount may vary, depending upon the acceptance rate of the voluntary tender offer and the exchange ratio between Allianz AG shares and RAS ordinary and savings shares, which will be determined in mid-December 2005.

 

Approximately € 2.2 billion, in aggregate, was secured in 3Q 2005 from equity-based financing and an equity-linked borrowing. In this context, approximately € 1.1 billion was placed out of authorized capital without pre-emptive rights and a € 1.1 billion equity-linked borrowing was executed with a variable redemption amount linked to the share price of Allianz AG, which can be settled, at the Allianz Group’s option, in cash or 10.7 million Allianz AG shares. The remaining amount will be financed through internal funds, as well as hybrid debt and senior debt.

 

In connection with the RAS merger and the conversion of Allianz AG into a SE, the structure of the entire Allianz Group will be further simplified and focused. In the future, the Allianz Group will operate its insurance activities in Germany – the Property-Casualty and the Life/Health business – under one holding company and directly reallocate the holdings of operations to Allianz SE in key European markets, such as Austria, Switzerland and Spain. This is a significant step forward in reducing complexity.

 

Management Board Changes

 

With effect from December 31, 2005, Detlev Bremkamp will retire and Dr. Reiner Hagemann will resign upon their own initiative from the Management Board of Allianz AG. The Supervisory Board has appointed Enrico Cucchiani, currently Chief Executive Officer of Lloyd Adriatico, Jean-Philippe Thierry, currently Chief Executive Officer of AGF, and Clement Booth, currently Chief Executive Officer of AON Re International, as new members of the Management Board of Allianz AG with effect from January 1, 2006.

 

On September 17, 2005, Dr. Reiner Hagemann resigned from his position as Chairman of the Management Board of Allianz Versicherungs-AG. Hansjörg Cramer, deputy Chairman of the Management Board of Allianz Versicherungs-AG, took over the tasks of Dr. Hagemann for the intervening period. The Supervisory Board has appointed Thomas Pleines, currently Chief Executive Officer of Allianz Suisse, as new Chairman of the Management Board of Allianz Versicherungs-AG with effect from January 1, 2006.

Property-Casualty Insurance Operations

 

On track despite impact of natural catastrophes.

 

_ We continued our focus on profitable, managed growth and selectively increased our business where risk-adequate premiums could be attained. Internal growth picked up in 3Q to 2.6%, leading to an overall internal growth rate of 1.9% for the first nine months of 2005.

 

_ One of the worst hurricane seasons on record in North America and the effects of natural catastrophes in Europe and Asia drove the 3Q combined ratio up to 97.0%. For the nine months ended September 30, 2005 our combined ratio amounted to 93.0%, clearly better than our 2005 target and 20 basis points below the prior year level.

 

_ Our operating profit was strong at 6.6% growth and net income experienced double-digit growth of 15.5% for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, as compared to the prior year period. While operating profit in 3Q was hindered by natural catastrophes, net income growth excelled by 10.9%, driven by increased net capital gains and lower impairments and other non-operating expenses.

Gross Premiums Written

 

2005 to 2004 Three Month Comparison

 

Capitalizing on growth opportunities in markets that offered a profitable correlation between premium rates and risks, and our willingness to forego premium growth in markets with increasing pricing pressures, we were successful in slightly growing gross premiums written in 3Q to € 10,472 million, despite the disposal of our Taiwanese, Chilean and Canadian property-casualty operations in the second half of 2004. Based on internal growth, gross premiums written increased by 2.6%. Growth varied considerably across different markets. Positive developments were primarily experienced by Allianz Marine & Aviation, Allianz Australia and Allianz Spain with additional gross premiums written of € 110 million (46.0%), € 50 million (12.7%) and € 30 million (8.0%), respectively. Within Allianz Australia, growth continued, driven by our brokers and agency division, as well as our financial institutions and direct division primarily as a result of new products, innovative sales channels, and successful advertising. At Allianz Seguros, the positive development in our motor, personal lines and industrial lines continued. These increases were offset by decreased gross premiums written primarily at Allianz Cornhill in Great Britain and at Allianz Risk Transfer in Switzerland where gross premiums written decreased by € 60 million (9.5%) and € 44 million (23.0%), respectively. At Allianz Cornhill, this decline was largely the result of a decline in new personal motor business, a development that was significantly driven by cycle management. The decline at Allianz Risk Transfer occurred as the result of a large transaction in the prior year period.

 

2005 to 2004 Nine Month Comparison

 

For the first nine months of 2005, our gross premiums written of € 34.4 billion were relatively stable, despite the deconsolidation of our property-casualty operations in Taiwan, Chile and Canada in the second half of 2004. Overall, the premium development in our Property-Casualty segment reflects our continued strategy of selective and profitable growth.

Operating Profit

 

2005 to 2004 Three Month Comparison

 

In 3Q, major catastrophes in the United States, Central Europe and Asia inflicted multi-billion Euros in damages, heavily impacting the insurance and reinsurance markets as a whole. The development of our operating profit was markedly affected by these events in 3Q, resulting in expected claims, net of reinsurance, of approximately € 753 million. In that context, hurricane “Katrina” comprised the bulk of claims with losses, net of reinsurance, of € 519 million, and hurricane “Rita” accounted for an additional € 101 million in net losses. Despite the positive claims development experienced by our German property-casualty operations, namely by “Sachgruppe Deutschland”, especially within its general liability and homeowner lines and by our Credit Insurance Line, the combined effects of losses, net of reinsurance, from natural catastrophes in the United States (€ 620 million) and Central Europe (€ 58 million) caused our loss ratio to deteriorate by 6.5 percentage points to 72.9%. Correspondingly, the combined-ratio of our property-casualty segment increased by 6.1 percentage points to 97.0% (3Q 2004: 90.9%). Operating entities most affected by the natural catastrophes in 3Q included Fireman’s Fund, Allianz Global Risks, Allianz Marine & Aviation, Allianz Suisse and Allianz AG. In the United States, the planned external review of the asbestos & environmental (or “A&E”) liability reserves at Fireman’s Fund had no net impact at the Allianz Group level as a result of already sufficient reserves, absent a $ 56 million loss caused by the increase in provision for uncollectible reinsurance recoverables. Due to combined effects of natural catastrophes our operating profit decreased by 38.8% to € 696 million. Net acquisition costs and administrative expenses rose slightly by 4.3% to € 2,648 million, due to increased expenses for service agreements from the consolidation of Four Seasons Health Care Ltd. in the latter part of 3Q 2004. We were however successful in reducing our expense ratio, which excludes expenses for service agreements, by 40 basis points to 24.1% largely due to a decline in administrative expenses caused by headcount reductions in the United States and Germany.

 

2005 to 2004 Nine Month Comparison

 

Despite the negative impact of natural catastrophes in 3Q, our combined ratio for the first nine months of 2005 improved by 20 basis points to 93.0%, driving us towards achieving our target for 2005. Equally as positive, we strengthened operating profit by 6.6% to € 3,090 million.

 

Additionally, and as a result of hurricane “Wilma” in October 2005, we currently estimate our loss, net of reinsurance, at approximately € 124 million. We will continue to monitor this development throughout 4Q 2005 and may make adjustments to our estimate accordingly.

 

Net Income

 

2005 to 2004 Three Month Comparison

 

Notwithstanding the effects of the natural catastrophes in 3Q, net income increased markedly by 10.9% to € 408 million. Net capital gains and impairments on investments increased by € 408 million to € 296 million, predominantly from higher realized net gains and lower impairments. Net trading income declined to a loss of € 108 million in 3Q. This decline was primarily driven by changes in fair values of certain embedded and freestanding derivatives in connection with our “All-in-one” capital market transactions. However, economically, these negative fair value changes are compensated by the increased market prices of respective shares of DAX companies we own, albeit the development of these available-for-sale securities is reflected in unrealized gains and losses within shareholders’ equity, and not net income. Net income was also positively impacted from the elimination of the amortization of goodwill brought about by a change in accounting under IFRS (3Q 2004: € 96 million). Mirroring the development in operating profit, our tax expense decreased by 38.7% to € 277 million, leading to an effective tax rate of 31.5% (3Q 2004: 47.3%). Minority interests in earnings increased by 37.1% to € 181 million.

 

2005 to 2004 Nine Month Comparison

 

Net income for the first nine months of 2005 rose by 15.5%, to € 2,749 million, despite the impact of natural catastrophes in 3Q. Our effective tax rate improved by more than four percentage points to 20.4%, largely driven by tax exempt income.

Statutory Premiums

 

2005 to 2004 Three Month Comparison

 

Our statutory premiums rose by 2.5% to € 11.1 billion in 3Q. Based on internal growth, our statutory premiums increased by 1.5%. We continued to report significant growth in key European markets. The strongest growth rates were achieved in France at € 193 million (18.5%), in Italy at € 245 million (14.1%) and in Germany at € 307 million (10.1%), whereas premiums in the United States declined by 19.8% to € 2,853 million. In France, the strong growth was driven by our well-performing partnership and broker business. Our Italian subsidiaries RAS Group and Lloyd Adriatico again experienced significant growth from the sale of unit-linked and index-linked products through the bancassurance channels. Through Allianz Leben, Germany continued to experience strong growth, which reflected the success it had achieved in the context of last year’s “Retirement Revenue Act” (“Alterseinkünftegesetz”), resulting in a strong increase in statutory premiums ever since year-end 2004. Conversely, statutory premiums in the United States at Allianz Life declined by 19.8% to € 2,853 million in 3Q, as expected, due to a very successful, albeit limited, sales promotion which caused an extraordinary surge in statutory premiums in the third quarter of last year. However, statutory premium volume in the United States remained strong, at a level well above 1Q and 2Q 2004.

 

2005 to 2004 Nine Month Comparison

 

Statutory premiums increased by 9.4% to € 34.9 billion. This strong growth stemmed predominantly from key European markets, in particular Germany, Italy and France, as well as the United States.

Operating Profit

 

2005 to 2004 Three Month Comparison

 

In 3Q, operating profit from our Life/Health insurance operations increased significantly by 26.5% to € 478 million. Current income from investments developed favorably with an increase by 6.4% to € 2,764 million, driven predominantly by a significant inflow of funds brought about by new business underwritten at Allianz Life in the United States and Allianz Leben in Germany in prior quarters. Insurance benefits (net) increased by 8.4% to € 5,697 million, principally from higher premium refunds at Allianz Leben. Net acquisition costs and administrative expenses decreased significantly by 11.8% to € 955 million, due in large part to a decline in costs at Allianz Life, which, in 3Q 2004, stemmed from the novation of a reinsurance contract and very successful, but limited, sales promotion measures. At the same time, our statutory premiums increased by 2.5% to € 11,116 million in 3Q, successfully driving our statutory expense ratio down by 1.6 percentage point to 8.5%. Net trading income, almost exclusively attributable to policyholders, more than doubled, reaching € 163 million, primarily from changes in fair values of freestanding derivatives in connection with equity-indexed annuities sold by Allianz Life in the United States.

 

2005 to 2004 Nine Month Comparison

 

After consecutively increasing operating profit levels in 2005, operating profit rose by 22.4% to € 1,283 million. This positive development originated largely from strong profitable growth within statutory premiums in our key European markets of Italy, France and Germany, where growth rates of greater than 10% were achieved, and favorable development of net acquisition costs and administrative expenses. We achieved a statutory expense ratio of 7.7%, a marked decrease of 1.9 percentage points. However, this improvement was also driven by the regular unlocking of assumptions within our deferred policy acquisition cost asset in 1Q.

 

Net Income

 

2005 to 2004 Three Month Comparison

 

Overall, net income tripled, with an increase of € 251 million to € 376 million. Net capital gains and impairments on investments attributable to shareholders increased significantly by € 141 million to € 183 million. We leveraged the favorable capital market environment for limited realizations, though none individually significant, and also benefited from a considerably lower need to impair investments. Net income was also positively affected by the elimination of the amortization of goodwill brought about by a change in accounting under IFRS (3Q 2004: € 40 million). Restructuring charges of € 18 million in 3Q resulted from an early retirement program at AGF in France. Despite a dynamic growth in operating profit, tax expense decreased by 21.0% to € 147 million, leading to an effective tax rate of 21.7% (3Q 2004: 48.3%). This decline was influenced by tax free income at various operating entities, including Allianz Leben, as well as the write-down of deferred tax assets at Allianz Life Insurance Company in Korea in 3Q 2004. Minority interests in earnings nearly doubled to € 140 million, primarily due to increased earnings at our Italian and French entities.

 

2005 to 2004 Nine Month Comparison

 

Following three quarters of dynamic growth, net income rose by 89.1% to € 1,108 million due primarily to strong profitable growth in our key European markets and the United States. Additionally, increases in net capital gains and impairments on investments and the elimination of goodwill amortization as a result of a change in accounting under IFRS also contributed to the strengthening of our net income. Largely due to tax exempt income at various operating entities, including Allianz Leben, and favorable taxation of capital gains at AGF Vie in France, our effective tax rate improved considerably to 15.4% from 33.2%.

1) Under the Allianz Group’s accounting policies for life insurance contracts, for which we have adopted U.S. GAAP accounting standards, gross written premiums include only the cost- and risk-related components of premiums generated from unit-linked and other investment-oriented products, but do not include the full amount of statutory premiums written on these products. Statutory premiums are gross premiums written from sales of life insurance policies as well as gross receipts from sales of unit-linked and other investment-oriented products, in accordance with the statutory accounting practices applicable in the insurer’s home jurisdiction.
2) Net of earned premiums ceded to reinsurers of € 259 million and € 780 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005, respectively (3Q 2004: € 463 million and 9M 2004: € 1,519 million).

Banking Operations

 

Operating revenues stabilized. Dresdner Bank remains well on track to earn its cost of capital in 2005.

 

_ In 3Q, operating profit increased by 83.8% to € 250 million compared to the prior year period, principally driven by a net release of loan loss provisions from Dresdner Bank’s IRU division. Dresdner Bank contributed € 231 million of operating profit.

 

_ Operating revenues were stabilized at € 1.5 billion in 3Q, for the first time this year. Offsetting the strong development within our strategic divisions at Dresdner Bank was the close of our IRU division after the faster than planned completion of the wind-down of its portfolios, as well as negative impacts from IAS 39 of € 154 million.

 

_ Net income of Dresdner Bank amounted to € 113 million in 3Q, a slight decline of 5.8% compared to the prior year period due largely to one-off tax credits in 3Q 2004.

 

Earnings Summary

 

The results of operations of our banking segment are almost exclusively represented by Dresdner Bank, accounting for 95.7% and 97.5% of our total banking segment’s operating revenues and net income, respectively, for the first nine months of 2005 (first nine months of 2004: 96.5% and 108.1%). Accordingly, the discussion of our banking segment’s results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 as compared to September 30, 2004, respectively, relate solely to the operations of Dresdner Bank.

 

Operating Revenues

 

2005 to 2004 Three Month Comparison

 

Whereas operating revenues in our strategic divisions, that is Personal Banking, Private & Business Banking, Corporate Banking and DrKW, increased by € 203 million (14.3%), the close of our IRU division, effective September 30, 2005, after the completion of the wind-down of its portfolios, as well as negative impacts from IAS 39, resulted in stable operating revenues at Dresdner Bank of € 1,474 million in 3Q. At September 30, 2005 the IRU’s remaining exposure amounted to € 2.7 billion of which € 1.2 billion is scheduled for sale, with the then remaining exposure of € 1.5 billion being re-transferred mainly to our Corporate Other division. Net fee and commission income grew by 5.3% to € 599 million, driven by the securities business in our Personal Banking and Private & Business Banking divisions. Net trading income increased significantly by 43.2% to € 358 million due primarily to strong performance of DrKW’s client and customer business, especially with derivatives. Partially off-setting the growth of our net trading income were charges of € 49 million relating to IAS 39. Net interest income decreased by 21.1% to € 517 million, primarily attributable to the wind-down of our IRU division and a negative impact from IAS 39 of € 105 million.

 

2005 to 2004 Nine Month Comparison

 

Operating revenues decreased by 7.6% to € 4,413 million. Approximately two-thirds of this decline was attributable to the reduction of our non-strategic IRU portfolios. In addition, net trading income at DrKW in 2Q was negatively affected, to a significant degree, by the challenging capital market conditions in April and May.

 

Operating Profit

 

2005 to 2004 Three Month Comparison

 

Operating profit increased by 81.9% to € 231 million, driven by favorable developments within our net loan loss provisions, resulting in a net release of € 130 million. Gross new additions to allowances of € 58 million were significantly lower, predominantly due to the reductions in our non-strategic business within our IRU division and the significantly improved risk profile of Dresdner Bank’s strategic loan portfolio. Gross releases and recoveries of € 188 million remained relatively consistent, stemming principally from exits from large debtors, mainly within our IRU division. Administrative expenses increased by 6.2% to € 1,373 million. Whereas personnel expenses increased by 11.7% to € 879 million primarily due to the increase of performance-linked compensation commensurate with the higher operating revenues at DrKW in 3Q, non-personnel operating expenses declined by 2.4% to € 494 million largely as a result of lower expenses related to information technology and office space. Non-personnel operating

expenses decreased despite focused investments in certain growth areas, such as infrastructure established for our “Business Model 3”, which comprises the sale of our banking products through insurance agents. In 3Q, we have again acquired an increasing number of clients through this sales channel. Our cost-income ratio increased to 93.1% in 3Q (3Q 2004: 87.7%), following the increase of our administrative expenses, while operating revenues remained stable, negatively affected by IAS 39.

 

2005 to 2004 Nine Month Comparison

 

Operating profit increased significantly by 32.6% to € 711 million. This positive development is largely attributable to the substantial decline in our net loan loss provisions, resulting in a net release of € 84 million. Notwithstanding the net release in loan loss provisions, our coverage ratio at September 30, 2005, remained stable at 58.8% as compared to September 30, 2004. Further, administrative expenses decreased by 4.6% to € 3,786 million, driven by both personnel and non-personnel operating expenses. Personnel operating expenses were also positively affected by a one-off effect in 2Q, stemming from the release of provisions for employment anniversary payments due to the alignment of Dresdner Bank’s payment scheme to that of the Allianz Group. Further, headcount at September 30, 2005, has been reduced by approximately 7% compared to the level at September 30, 2004. Our cost-income ratio increased to 85.8% from 83.1%.

Net Income

 

2005 to 2004 Three Month Comparison

 

Although our earnings from ordinary activities before taxes increased by € 188 million, net income remained relatively stable at € 113 million, with only a slight decline of 5.8%, caused predominantly by higher taxes, driven by our improved operating profitability. Further, taxes in the prior year period were positively affected by a one-off tax credit. In 3Q, non-operating results were characterized by significantly reduced net capital gains and impairments on investments, as well as sharply lower other non-operating expenses (net), primarily attributable to decreased capital gains and impairments on certain non-strategic assets in 3Q 2004, respectively. Dresdner Bank’s net income benefited from the elimination of goodwill amortization brought about by a change in accounting under IFRS (3Q 2004: € 65 million).

 

2005 to 2004 Nine Month Comparison

 

Net income increased significantly by 57.9% to € 589 million, even excluding the tax-exempt gain of € 343 million from the transfer of 5% of our 7.3% shareholding in Munich Re to Allianz AG in 1Q. In addition to the positive operating profit development, the growth in net income was attributable to our sharply increased non-operating results, offset to a large extent by higher taxes, also resulting from a one-off tax credit in 3Q 2004. Net capital gains and impairments on investments of Dresdner Bank rose by € 381 million, stemming principally from the aforementioned Munich Re transfer, the sale of our shareholdings in Bilfinger Berger in 2Q, and strongly reduced net impairments on investments. The absence of significant restructuring charges and the elimination of goodwill amortization also benefited our net income.

Asset Management Operations

 

We continued to increase third-party assets under management and further strengthened our operating profit.

 

_ Since December 31, 2004, we have achieved an increase in our third-party assets under management of 21.5% to € 711 billion. This growth includes strong net inflows of € 48 billion.

 

_ In 3Q, commensurate with the marked 3.7 percentage point improvement of our cost-income ratio, which reached 57.8%, our operating profit grew by 37.8% over the prior year period to € 299 million.

 

_ Our asset management segment reported an improvement in net income of € 97 million, with net income reaching € 40 million in 3Q.

 

Earnings Summary

 

Our asset management segment’s results of operations are almost exclusively represented by Allianz Global Investors (or “AGI”), which accounted for 98.6% and 97.2% of our total asset management segment’s operating revenues and net income, respectively, for the first nine months of 2005. Accordingly, the discussion of our asset management segment’s results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005, as compared to September 30, 2004, respectively, relate solely to the operations of AGI.

 

Operating Revenues

 

2005 to 2004 Three Month Comparison

 

Operating revenues of AGI grew by 25.1% to € 698 million. Internal growth was comparable at 24.6%. This increase reflects positive business developments worldwide, resulting primarily from higher average third-party assets under management in the United States and Germany as discussed further under “– Third-party Assets Under Management of the Allianz Group”.

 

2005 to 2004 Nine Month Comparison

 

Our operating revenues increased by 15.0% to € 1,906 million, despite the depreciation of the U.S. dollar against the Euro. Internal growth was even stronger at 17.3%. This growth reflects our continuous positive business developments worldwide, particularly in the United States and Germany, as discussed further under “– Third-party Assets Under Management of the Allianz Group”.

2005 to 2004 Three Month Comparison

 

Operating profit of AGI increased significantly by 39.2% to € 295 million, primarily due to the aforementioned growth in our operating revenues. Operating expenses rose by 16.5% to € 403 million, which is significantly less than the increase in operating revenues, due largely to increased performance-linked compensation following our strong business development worldwide. We were successful in improving our cost-income ratio for the third consecutive quarter to 57.7% (3Q 2004: 62.0%) due in large part to strict cost management resulting in an under-proportionate increase in operating expenses compared to that of our operating revenues.

 

2005 to 2004 Nine Month Comparison

 

Operating profit grew by 35.6% to € 777 million. This positive development was driven by a 15.0% increase in operating revenues, which was markedly higher than the 4.1% rise in operating expenses.

Net Income

 

2005 to 2004 Three Month Comparison

 

AGI reported net income of € 38 million, representing a € 100 million improvement from prior year’s net loss of € 62 million, despite a € 39 million increase in acquisition-related expenses. In 3Q, acquisition-related expenses reflect solely deferred purchases of interests in PIMCO, which were agreed upon at the time our fixed income fund manager in the United States was acquired. Commensurate with the strong performance at PIMCO and the increased number of vested shares due to the maturation of the purchase program, the value of the purchase program grew significantly, resulting in an increase of deferred purchases of interest. No further acquisition-related expenses were recorded in 3Q. Our net income also benefited from the elimination of goodwill amortization under IFRS, effective January 1, 2005 (3Q 2004: € 96 million). Primarily due to improved operating profitability, tax expense increased to € 32 million compared to a tax benefit of € 9 million in the prior year period.

 

2005 to 2004 Nine Month Comparison

 

AGI reported net income of € 140 million, a € 407 million improvement from prior year’s net loss of € 267 million. Acquisition-related expenses remained stable at € 556 million. The deferred purchases of interests in PIMCO increased by 42.6% following PIMCO’s strong performance over the first nine months of 2005 and the increased number of vested shares. Tax expense increased by € 91 million due predominantly to improved operating profitability. Partially offsetting this development was a one-off deferred tax credit in 2Q related to goodwill amortization of € 36 million.

Third-party Assets Under Management of the Allianz Group

 

Overall, third-party assets accounted for approximately 58% or € 711 billion of assets managed by the Allianz Group at September 30, 2005. We manage our third-party asset management business primarily through our asset management subsidiary AGI. At September 30, 2005, AGI managed approximately € 677 billion, or 95.2%, of our third-party assets under management. The remainder of our third-party assets are managed by Dresdner Bank (approximately € 16 billion, or 2.3%) and other Allianz Group companies (approximately € 18 billion, or 2.5%).

 

Since December 31, 2004, our third-party assets under management have increased by 21.5% to € 711 billion. With significant net inflows of € 48 billion, we continue to demonstrate our strong market position as one of the world’s five largest asset managers. Net inflows were particularly strong in our fixed income business within the United States at PIMCO and within Germany at Allianz Dresdner Global Investors. Primarily attributable to favorable equity capital markets and, to a lesser extent, bond capital markets, market-related appreciation in the value of our third-party assets amounted to € 27 billion. Positive effects from exchange rate movements were € 56 billion, resulting primarily from the strengthening of the U.S. dollar compared to the Euro. Our third-party assets under management were negatively affected by the sale of Cadence Capital Management in the United States in 3Q, which resulted in a € 5 billion decline in our third-party assets.

Outlook

 

We expect an overall increase in total revenues in line with 2004 and continue to focus our efforts in sustaining and selectively improving our operating profit. However, as always, natural catastrophes and adverse developments in the capital markets, as well as the other factors noted below, may severely impact our profitability.

 

For 2005, the Allianz Group has the following targets:

 

Within our Property-Casualty segment we want to maintain a combined ratio below 95%. We remain confident that our Life/Health segment will achieve its operating profit target of at least € 1.5 billion. Dresdner Bank is on track to earn its cost of capital in 2005. Additionally, we target a 10% increase in operating profit for our Asset Management business.

 

Due to the strong performance in 3Q and the first nine months of 2005, we expect to surpass our targets for 2005.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

 

1 Basis of presentation

 

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted under European Union (EU) regulations in accordance with clause 315a of the German Commercial Code (HGB). EU regulations require full compliance with IFRS with the exception of the IAS 39 carve-out rules. Nevertheless, the endorsement by the EU, i.e. the elimination of the carve-out-rule, is expected before year-end 2005 and thus the fair value option for liabilities is already applied. Since 2002, the designation IFRS applies to the overall framework of all standards approved by the International Accounting Standards Board. Already approved standards continue to be cited as International Accounting Standards (IAS). All standards currently applicable have been adopted in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements.

 

For years through 2004, IFRS did not provide specific guidance concerning the reporting of insurance and reinsurance contracts. Therefore, as envisioned in the IFRS Framework, the provisions embodied under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) have been applied. See Note 2 regarding changes to IFRS effective January 1, 2005. The financial statements are presented in Euros (€).

 

In certain cases, prior reporting period figures were reclassified in the consolidated balance sheet and in the consolidated income statement to make them comparable with the presentation of the current reporting period. These reclassifications had no impact on income.

 

2 Recently adopted accounting pronouncements

 

Effects of accounting pronouncements adopted prior to July 1, 2005

 

Effective January 1, 2005, the Allianz Group adopted IAS 32 revised, Financial Instruments: Disclosure and Presentation (“IAS 32 revised”) and IAS 39 revised, Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement (“IAS 39 revised”).

 

IAS 39 revised prohibits reversals of impairment losses on equity securities. According to the Allianz Group’s previous accounting policy, if the amount of an impairment previously recorded on an equity security decreases, the impairment was reversed. IAS 39 revised required retrospective application of this change; therefore, the Allianz Group’s previously issued consolidated financial statements were required to be restated to include the effects of this change. As a result of the adoption of this provision of IAS 39 revised, the Allianz Group recorded the following effects in its consolidated income statements:

Table of Contents

In accordance with IAS 32 revised, a financial instrument qualifies as a financial liability of the issuer if it gives the holder the right to put the instrument back to the issuer for cash or another financial asset (a “puttable instrument”). The classification as a financial liability is independent of considerations such as when the right is exercisable, how the amount payable or receivable upon exercise of the right is determined, and whether the puttable instrument has a fixed maturity. As a result of the adoption of IAS 32 revised, the Allianz Group was required to reclassify the minority interests in shareholders’ equity of certain consolidated investment funds to liabilities. These liabilities are required to be recorded at redemption amount with changes recorded in the consolidated income statement.

 

Further, IAS 39 revised created a new category, designated at fair value through income, for financial assets. Financial assets designated at fair value through income are recognized at fair value with changes recognized in net income. As a result of being required to record the liabilities related to the previously mentioned consolidated investment funds at the redemption amount due to the adoption of IAS 32 revised, the Allianz Group reclassified the related investments from securities available-for-sale to financial assets designated at fair value through income. IAS 39 revised required retrospective application of these changes.

 

As a result of the adoption of these provisions of IAS 32 revised and IAS 39 revised, the Allianz Group recorded the following effects in its consolidated income statements:

Effective January 1, 2005, the Allianz Group adopted IFRS 2, Share Based Payments (“IFRS 2”). In accordance with IFRS 2, share based compensation plans are required to be classified as equity settled or cash settled plans. Equity settled plans are measured at fair value on the grant date with changes recognized in the income statement and shareholders’ equity over the vesting period. Cash settled plans are measured at fair value at each reporting date and recognized as liabilities. Changes in the fair value of cash settled plans are recognized as expense in the income statement.

 

36


Table of Contents

A company is considered to have a cash settled plan if the shares issued are redeemable, either mandatorily or at the counter-party’s option. In this respect, IFRS 2 has incorporated the “puttable instrument” concept of IAS 32 revised, which requires that such instruments be classified as liabilities rather than equity instruments. As a result of the adoption of IFRS 2, the PIMCO LLC Class B Unit Purchase Plan (“Class B Plan”) is considered a cash settled plan as the equity instruments issued are puttable at the counter-party’s option. According to the Allianz Group’s previous accounting policy, the Class B Plan was considered an equity settled plan.

 

Further, IFRS 2 requires that equity settled plans include a best estimate of the number of equity instruments that are expected to vest in determining the amount of expense to be recognized. The Allianz Group’s previous accounting policy required that forfeitures of equity instruments be recognized when incurred.

 

As a result of the adoption of IFRS 2, the Allianz Group recorded the following effects in its consolidated income statements:

Effective January 1, 2005, the Allianz Group adopted IFRS 3, Business Combinations (“IFRS 3”). In accordance with IFRS 3, a company must cease the amortization of goodwill and intangible assets with an indefinite life and rather test for impairment on an annual basis in addition to whenever there is an indication that the carrying value is not recoverable. As a result of the adoption on IFRS 3 on January 1, 2005, the Allianz Group ceased amortization of goodwill and brand names.

 

Effective January 1, 2005, the Allianz Group adopted IFRS 4, Insurance Contracts (“IFRS 4”). IFRS 4 represents the completion of phase I and is a transitional standard until the IASB has more fully addressed the recognition and measurement of insurance contracts. IFRS 4 requires that all contracts issued by insurance companies be classified as either insurance contracts or investment contracts. Contracts with significant insurance risk are considered insurance contracts. IFRS 4 permits a company to continue with it’s previously adopted accounting policies with regard to recognition and measurement of insurance contracts. Only in case of presentation of more reliable figures a change in accounting policy shall be carried out. As a result, the Allianz Group principally continues to apply the provisions of US GAAP for the recognition and measurement of insurance contracts. Contracts issued by insurance companies without significant insurance risk are considered investment contracts. Investment contracts are accounted for in accordance with IAS 39 revised. As a result of the adoption of IFRS 4, certain contracts were reclassified as investment contracts. This change did not have a material effect on the Allianz Group’s shareholders’ equity as of December 31, 2003.

 

Further, the Allianz Group reclassified the assets related to unit-linked insurance and investment contracts to financial assets designated at fair value through income and the related liabilities to financial liabilities designated at fair value through income as allowed under the EU insurance directives.

 

As a result of this reclassification, the Allianz Group recorded the following effects in its consolidated income statements:

As previously disclosed, the retrospective application of adoption of these new standards, resulted in a decrease in shareholders’ equity of € 2,631 mn and € 1,700 mn as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

 

Effects of accounting pronouncements adopted subsequent to June 30, 2005

 

Impairments of equity securities

 

IAS 39 revised requires a change to the Allianz Group’s impairment criteria for available-for-sale equity securities. An equity security is considered to be impaired if there is objective evidence that the cost of the equity security may not be recovered. IAS 39 revised requires that a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of an equity security below cost is considered to be objective evidence of impairment. The Allianz Group established, beside the existing qualitative impairment criteria, new quantitative impairment criteria for equity securities to define significant or prolonged decline. To satisfy the significant criteria, the Allianz Group

 

37


Table of Contents

has established a policy that an equity security is considered impaired if the fair value is below the weighted-average cost by more than 20%. To satisfy the prolonged criteria, the Allianz Group established a policy that an equity security is considered impaired if the fair value is below the weighted-average cost for greater than nine months. Each of these policies is applied independently at the subsidiary level.

 

In addition, IAS 39 revised does not allow an adjusted cost basis to be established upon impairment of an equity security. Rather, each reporting period, if the fair value is less than the original cost basis of the equity security, the security is analyzed for impairment based upon the Allianz Group’s impairment criteria. At each reporting date, for equity securities that are determined to be impaired based upon the Allianz Group’s impairment criteria, an impairment is recognized for the difference between the fair value and the original cost basis, less any previously recognized impairments. According to the Allianz Group’s previously applied accounting policy, upon the recognition of an impairment of an equity security, an adjusted cost basis was established. Therefore, at each reporting period, if the fair value was less than the adjusted cost basis of the equity security, the security was analyzed for impairment based upon the Allianz Group’s impairment criteria.

 

IAS 39 revised required retrospective application of these changes; therefore, the Allianz Group’s previously issued consolidated financial statements were required to be restated to include the effects of these changes. During the three months ended September 30, 2005, the Allianz Group adopted these provisions of IAS 39. The Allianz Group did not adopt these provisions prior to the three months ended September 30, 2005, as it was in discussions with accounting standard setters to determine if the adoption of IAS 39 revised would result in a difference to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“US GAAP”). These discussions were concluded in the third quarter 2005 and will result in a difference in accounting under US GAAP after January 1, 2005, as the Allianz Group is not allowed to retrospectively apply these provisions under US GAAP. The Allianz Group continues to monitor the discussions by the IFRIC regarding clarification of the timing of impairment testing (quarterly versus annually).

 

As a result, the Allianz Group recorded the following effects in the consolidated income statements:

Fair value option for financial liabilities

 

IAS 39 revised created a new category, designated at fair value through income, for financial assets and liabilities. Both, financial assets and liabilities designated at fair value through income are recognised at fair value with changes recognised in net income. The Allianz Group already implemented this new rule for financial assets as of January 1, 2005. The implementation of this regulation with regard to financial liabilities was not allowed because the EU did not endorse it based on the revised IAS 39. In June 2005 the IASB adjusted the fair value regulation and considered the concerns raised by the EU. It is expected that the EU will endorse the new rules in the fourth quarter 2005. Thus, the Allianz Group already applied the fair value option for financial liabilities retrospectively in the third quarter due to the forthcoming EU endorsement.

Discretionary participating features

 

IFRS 4 contains specific guidance for contracts with discretionary participation features (DPF). These include other contracts that have additional payments where the timing or amount is at the discretion of the company. Based on this definition the Allianz Group recognised retrospectively a deferred premium refund for specific contracts for the Swiss business.

Accounting for business combinations

 

During the three months ended September 30, 2005, the Allianz Group revised its accounting policy for accounting of business combinations for acquisitions of companies already under control of the Allianz Group. IFRS 3 does not include any regulations on minority acquisition accounting. Thus, the Allianz Group introduced the pure equity transaction approach to cover this accounting gap. According to the pure equity transaction approach, the acquisition of a minority does not result in further revaluations of assets and liabilities. Instead the excess amount of the purchase price over the carrying amount of the minority will directly reduce the equity. The Allianz Group has to retrospectively apply this rule as of January 1, 2005 because since then minorities have to be presented in the equity according to the revised IAS 27.

 

As a result, the Allianz Group recorded the following effects in the consolidated income statements:

Earnings per share

 

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the Allianz Group’s consolidated net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the effect of potentially dilutive securities. As of September 30, 2005, 1,175,554 (2004: 1,175,554) participation certificates issued by Allianz AG were outstanding which can potentially be converted to 1,469,443 (2004: 1,469,443) Allianz shares and therefore have a dilutive effect.

 

The Allianz Group’s share-based compensation plans and warrants issued by Allianz AG with potentially dilutive securities of 1,195,053 are included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2005.

Merger of Allianz AG and RAS and conversion to SE

 

On September 11, 2005, Allianz AG and Riunione Adriatica di Sicurta S.p.A. (“RAS”) announced their intention to merge. On October 13, 2005, Consob, the Italian financial markets authority, approved Allianz AG’s tender offer document relating to the voluntary offer to purchase all ordinary and savings shares, it does not already own, of RAS. The offer period began on October 20, 2005. The acceptance period will close on November 23 and the payment date is expected for November 30, 2005.

 

The offer represents a preparatory step of a broad repositioning plan for the Allianz Group and its Italian operations, the general terms of which were approved by the boards of Allianz AG and RAS. The cornerstone of this repositioning plan is the ultimate merger of RAS into Allianz AG, with Allianz AG converting into a European Company (Societas Europaea or “SE”). Additionally, RAS will contribute its insurance and other financial services business, with the exception of the participations in certain foreign subsidiaries, to a newly incorporated, wholly owned Italian subsidiary that will continue the corporate name “RAS S.p.A.”.

 

Based on full acceptance of the voluntary tender offer, the cost of the entire transaction will be approximately € 5.7 billion. However, this amount may vary, depending upon the acceptance rate of the voluntary tender offer and the exchange ratio between Allianz AG shares and RAS ordinary and savings shares, which will be determined in mid-December 2005.

 

Approximately € 2.2 billion, in aggregate, was secured in the third quarter 2005 from equity-based financing and an equity-linked borrowing. In this context, approximately € 1.1 billion was placed out of authorized capital without pre-emptive rights and a € 1.1 billion equity-linked borrowing was executed with a variable redemption amount linked to the share price of Allianz AG, which can be settled, at the Allianz Group’s option, in cash or 10.7 million Allianz AG shares. The remaining amount will be financed through internal funds, as well as hybrid debt and senior debt.

 

Hurricane Wilma

 

As a result of hurricane Wilma in October 2005, the Allianz Group currently estimates its loss, net of reinsurance, at approximately € 124 mn. The Allianz Group will continue to monitor this development through the fourth quarter 2005 and may make adjustments to this estimate accordingly.
